Highlight group member Yang Yo Seop will release a solo album.

On the 27th, Around Us Entertainment announced, "Highlight's Yang Yo Seop will release his first solo full-length album on the afternoon of September 20th."

Yang Yo Seop's solo album is his first release in about 2 years and 8 months since the digital single '20 Full Moons,' released in January 2019, right before his enlistment. At the time, Yang Yo Seop presented all self-composed songs and expressed his heartfelt feelings for his members and fans.

Notably, this new album is Yang Yo Seop's first solo full-length album since his debut. Yang Yo Seop is currently receiving songs from various composers and accelerating preparations for the album.

Yang Yo Seop has raised expectations for a solo album by actively engaging in activities not only with Highlight but also individually. Last year, five months after his discharge, he recorded 8 consecutive wins on MBC's 'King of Mask Singer,' the highest ranking for an idol singer in history, earning the meaningful modifier 'Healing Singer.'

Subsequently, in March of this year, Yang Yo Seop proved his exceptional capabilities by topping the music charts with the collaboration song 'LOVE DAY (2021)' for the Naver Webtoon 'Right Love Guide,' which he participated in with Jung Eun Ji. Recently, he garnered attention by hinting at his solo comeback on KBS2's 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook.'

As such, Yang Yo Seop is expected to join the September comeback battle and attract the passionate interest of global fans. Attention is focused on what musical prowess Yang Yo Seop, who has received much love for his unique vocal skills, will showcase with his first solo full-length album.

Meanwhile, Highlight, the group Yang Yo Seop belongs to, released their third mini-album 'The Blowing' in May and successfully completed their group comeback activities with the title track 'Blow.'
